- Perform Design for Testability (DFT) Analysis and identify design improvements, critical issues and coverage requirements to meet end functional and quality targets.
- Lead SW and HW Functional Test Development Activities including third party coordination and project management.
- Enhance existing test processes by using standard EMS tools such as AOI, X-Ray, Flying probe, ICT, BSCAN, Functional test and system test where applicable depending on complexity, volume, cost and manufacturing cycle such as NPI or production.
- Review customer test documentation and qualify bill of material (BOM) structures, process for program parts and the appropriate files required to support the associated test process.
- Set up and validate test equipment, software and fixtures for customer’s products and PCBAs.
- Create and update detailed test procedures, if not provided by customer, based on a step by step methodology of performing the customized test process in Vexos manufacturing workplace.
- Work with Manufacturing Engineering to optimize test flow and sequence of manufacturing process.
- Ensure calibration/maintenance compliances of all Vexos owned or customer consigned test equipment used in manufacturing.
- Monitor test yields using our MES data collection system based on set quality goals, and:
- Establish a continuous improvement engineering action register; updates will be required on a weekly basis.
- Perform electrical failure analysis to the component level using schematics.




- Work with manufacturing engineer to resolve manufacturing defects caught at test.
- Work with customer to highlight design issues and manage resolution.
- Verify test set up and provide enhancements through procedural, mechanical or automation software additions to improve yields and test process.
- Review NFF and False Fails and develop/ establish test recommendations to address, optimize or eliminate.
- Analyze, debug and support “non-functional” test stations, fixtures and equipment and establish a plan to minimize down time.
- Mentor/Train test engineers and technicians on performing test process, provide additional documentation if needed.
- Ensure the safety of the test operator and/or technician is designed into the test process and never jeopardized.
- Evaluate test cycle times and provide a capacity measurement report for stations and manpower based on product demand loaded.
- Interface with customer and on-site engineering team to improve test coverage.
- Evaluate customer Engineering Change Orders (ECOs), identify hardware and software impact on test process, provide cost/labor changes if applicable; implement ECO when all technical/cost related items are submitted and resolved.
- Validate/Update test programs with customer Engineering Change Notice (ECN) - Altering the test programs to meet new customer test requirements.
- Backup all test programs – Ensure a spare copy for test programs is available or obtain from installation s/w from customer or development group, if not stored on the network.
- Ensure/Prepare a list of necessary spares used on the test stations such as cables, connectors and test equipment to reduce down time.
- Support Test FMEA, Cpk, Gauge R&R; and related Functional Test Acceptance and Release criteria.
- Work with program management and manufacturing coordinating and implementing activities to support successful new product launches.
